FHWA/HUD Livability initiative allows mixture of FHWA funds and HUD Section 3 Funds. These funding types would ordinarily be incompatible under a single contract; HUD's Section 3 requires that preferential hiring be afforded to those individuals living in the project area, but FHWA regulations prohibit preferential hiring. However, for contracts approved under FHWA's SEP-14 program, the prohibition on hiring preferences would be waived to accommodate only Section 3 requirements.
